Postdoctoral
Fellowships](https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/node/3139)**\
The
Graham
Research
Fellowship
and
the

take
their
name
from
J.
Wesley
“Wes”

the
first
director
of
the
University
of
Waterloo’s
computing
centre,
a
humble
visionary
known
as
the
father
of
computing
at
the
University
of
Waterloo,
and
an
academic
who
devoted
his
career
to
making
computers
available
to
everyone.

In
honour
of
his
many
contributions
to
the
University
of
Waterloo,
the
Waterloo
community
and
the
tech
sector,
a
number
of
his
colleagues
established
the
J.W.
Graham
Information
Technology
Trust
in
2000,
an
endowment
housed
at
the
University
of
Waterloo.
In
2018
the
Trust
in

applications
to
healthcare
and
health
informatics,
and
the
